Something else a VPN will get you, if you're running through a home
router of some sort, is a much clearer connection through your router's
firewall, if it has VPN pass-through. Reason I mention this is that your
problem sounds like maybe your router is squashing packets for a while,
until port numbers get back into a range it knows how to handle. If you
haven't checked lately, and you are using a router at home, you might
see if there's a newer firmware for it. In fact, my DLink router's
original firmware dropped SSH sessions all the time...
